New data security technology is available for organizations in every industry to defend against some of the modern threats that attack networks, but cybercriminals have new technology of their own that may be able to bypass companies that get left behind in the data security game.

The reliance on Skype for communication between friends, family, employees and even businesses has seen a notable amount of growth over the past many years, but there may be an endpoint security worry that many had not previously considered.

There is now greater reliance on applications within businesses than ever, but many companies are still looking for stronger data security in apps before they start leaning on them more heavily in their operations.

The recent hack of The Associated Press’ Twitter account showed the true power and impact the website can have. After hackers took over the news organization’s account and reported that President Barack Obama was seriously injured, the S&P 500 briefly took a gigantic hit.

The key to data and Internet security moving forward is likely going to be sharing of information, but experts said the new plan on behalf of the U.S. Department of Homeland Security may need to go further, according to CSO.com.

U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission Chairwoman Mary Jo White may want to take precautions a bit further than where they currently are, as she has asked her staff to review whether publicly traded companies should have to disclose more information about cyberattacks that occur on their networks.
